Yes! Just cause you have your wife-to-be and everything going on doesn't mean you get to have a life outside VJ!! laughing.gif

It's not that I intentionally lurk - sometimes I'll log in at work and read a little, while I'm waiting for some computer task to finish, but don't really have time to 'write'. And to Jeraly - LOL! To be put in one's place so succinctly by you is (almost) an honor! Kudos!
Jeraly
OH! You prolly don't even know but I had my interview on Wednesday and got approved!! biggrin.gif

Really, Aly, you don't need an excuse as to why you couldn't get on VJ during your honeymoon.

Yes she does. If she *really* loved us, she'd have found a way. But she didn't. She hates us all, and just wants to mess with our LIVES!!1!

rae_and_scott
Actually you're right mox.
If she really loved us she wouldn't have married Jeremy at all. She would have married US.

Less then 12 hours until I emigrate...... I really can't fit everything in my luggage. I'll have to leave some stuff, and my mum isn't happy that I can't empty my room! That's love for you isn't it! I have a feeling that sleeping tonight may be a little difficult...

Aly, many congrats on your approval. I haven't read any further back than one page, as I really ought to be trying harder to do that packing thing. I looove to leave things until the last minute LOL. I'll write again from Maryland!

Hello all. Checking in whilst over at Nick's rents. There is a whole lot happening for us Julyers now.

Lisalu...I guess you will be en-route now. Congrats.

Most of the stuff for the wedding sorted now so I'm having more time to sit and think about stuff I miss so having a few homesick moments. Still love it over here and Nick's mammy is being such a big support to me. She is amazing.

Nick played improv guitar at a local bar last night. He is an amazing guitarist but has really bad nerves and no belief in himself. It's the first time he has played for a decent sized audience of total strangers. He did so well and had people going up to him and complimenting him and buying him drinks (he doesn't even drink, lol). I'm so proud of him. He was originally only supposed to play 30mins but they kept him going and kept telling him to turn up for over an hour. It has done so much for his confidence.

Oh..one more thing....I have discovered hayfever season starts earlier here and I'm allergic to Nebraska! So if any Nebraskans know where I can get some Honey made in Nebraska I'd appriciate a wee message.
Ovaltine Jenkins
Hey Debz biggrin.gif Great to hear from you biggrin.gif I don´t know where they sell the honey sorry sad.gif
Jeraly
Yay Debz!! When do you get the net in your place!? Miss you!!

Great to hear about Nick - It's one thing being able to do something in the privacy of your own home but in public is a bit more scary... that sounds well dodgy biggrin.gif

Great that Nick's mom is being supportive - I don't have a support network really other than Jeremy in the US so I am a bit nervous about that when I start to get homesick unsure.gif

As for Honey - not sure if this is any help to you when you get online:

Ovaltine Jenkins
Why is that?

thanks Aly. Nick's mammy says she knows a place near here where they sell grow nebraska stuff so going there later.
Jeraly
QUOTE(Scott and Marta @ Apr 12 2008, 05:42 PM) *
Why is that?


Just a big change away from everything I have ever known (apart from Jeremy) - I'm worried I won't settle down and that I will get upset and grumpy while I am settling in and take it out on Jeremy sad.gif

Kewlies! You can prolly use the store for whatever it has then use the internet for anything you can't find smile.gif
Ovaltine Jenkins
Noooooooo I´m sure u will be fine and happy and all biggrin.gif And if you have some negative energy turn it around and use it on something good like to plan something to do together with Jeremy smile.gif And you will be able to see your family and friends again sooner than you think and you will settle well and have new plans and new dreams and you will follow your old dreams and it will all be great and you and Jeremy will be sooooo happy together biggrin.gif

I know it will all be ok But if I didn't have little worries then who else would take over from debz while she isn't here?!?!
Ovaltine Jenkins
What do you mean she isn´t here? I saw her a few days ago...where else would she be? She loves us biggrin.gif

hello. WOW 2 days in a row!!! I'm really suffering with these allergies but got honey so should start building up resistance in a few days. I sneezed 12 times in a row this morning. I swear I though I was going to turn inside-out.

Stress wise I'm strangly mellow just now. Things falling into place for the wedding. AOS is still around 8 weeks away. Not much to panic about just now. My life feels some what empty.
Jeraly
Lol - I know how you feel biggrin.gif I am so not panicking about AOS - I mean it can't be any worse than K-1 right? biggrin.gif

And two days in a row?! It's almost like old times smile.gif
Ovaltine Jenkins
See? Told you she loved us biggrin.gif luv.gif
StillThePrettiest
wow, this place has been quiet! I was away for the weekend visiting friends smile.gif

I leave the UK in two weeks from today

Hi all.....

Debz it's so good to hear from you! Sorry for the allergies...yay Spring! I've been wheezy sneezy too...sinus irrigations help alot, although they're not as sweet and fun as honey.

Stp, Can't wait til you're here too....Lisalu welcome! Everyone...I can't wait til we're all together here! Peter will be here tonight about midnight, his flight is enroute as we speak then he has a seperate domestic flight about 5:45 pm into DFW.

I may fall off the radar for a bit when he gets here. I'll try to check in to fill everyone in POE and stuff. I'm worried about AOS too...mostly about having the cashola to send it off on time. That's a big chunk of change to gather up at once for us! After moving, a wedding, and just generally tweaking things around here to make Peter feel comfortable....I'm broke! So i'm stressing a bit that he'll go out of status before we file. Vicious cycle....no money...no AOS...no AOS...no work permit....no job....no money....grrrrrrrrr. Okay..all for now, I have to go to work!

Don't worry too much about AOS. As long as you marry within 90 days you'll be fine. Over in the AOS forum this gets discussed a lot and it appears that although it's best to file AOS as soon as you're able you to don't have to do it within the 90 days that the I-94 is valid. Getting married in that timeframe is the important bit - AOS can wait a while longer. good.gif

Oooh - that's interesting to know biggrin.gif I think we want to file as soon as poss so I can get my EAD but it is handy to know that if things are tight (which is likely) that we have a little time to play with biggrin.gif

not today; had the laziest day imaginable biggrin.gif

woke up early, spent a bit of time on the phone with my fiancé, then with my mum, and then with a friend in Sydney... by that time it was after one laughing.gif

so then I had a long bath - read until the water was getting cool - and now I've been catching up on emails and reading some more biggrin.gif

oh, and I've done two loads of washing and eaten some toast smile.gif


however, the guy from Allied Pickfords comes tomorrow to see what I'm shipping, and I have a few other things to do, so I guess the running around will start soon...
